Charles Darwin in Atacama

Charles Darwin, one of the most important scientists of the last centuries visited between 1834 and 1835 Chile. His theory of evolution, his travels and his geological observations mark a great step forward in modern science. Especially the confirmation of the slow geological processes and the existence of "visible" vertical forces mark his stay in the North of Chile.
Charles Darwin travelled through South America in 1834, collecting samples, evidence and information. His visit to the north of Chile (Coquimbo, Freirina and Copiapó) dates from May to July 1834.
